People think that Paimon is the only food source in Genshin Impact, but that is not true. The RPG has a full cooking system that’s a lot like the one in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The ingredients can be found all over the game world, and there are enough of them. That could mean that Paimon can take a break because she won’t be needed as a food source for emergencies just yet.
Best Food Recipes to Cook in Genshin Impact
Like most RPGs from the Orient, this one is all about being efficient. When it comes to cooking, it’s important to balance the effectiveness-to-availability ratio so that players don’t run out of food when they need it most, since food works like potions. So far, these are the best and easiest-to-find food recipes in Genshin Impact’s current version.
Goulash
The recipe for goulash is given to players after they gather frozen meat in Dragonspine. Goulash is the only food in the game that can help you feel less cold, which makes it a lot easier to explore the area. Goulash gives the play a.5% resistance to cold for 200 seconds.
The player will need two pieces of cold meat, two carrots, and a tomato to make it.
Golden Shrimp Balls
The Golden Shrimp Balls are one of the best free items that players can get. Surprisingly, it’s not too hard to make a lot of this recipe. As you might have guessed, shrimp is the main ingredient. You can buy a lot of shrimp at the general store in Liyue Harbor.
Players need five shrimp, two potatoes, and three flowers to make the recipe. When the recipe is used, it gives a character 1200 health.
Moon Pie
To get Moon Pie, players have to work a little bit because they can’t get it until they reach rank 7 in Mondstadt reputation. The dish is worth it, though, because it makes shields 30% stronger and boosts the party’s defence by 200 points for 300 seconds. This makes it perfect for boss fights.

Players need four pieces of meat, four eggs, three pieces of butter, and two pieces of flour to make the recipe.
Sunshine Sprat
During the second part of Albedo’s story quest, he gives the player a Sunshine Sprat. The dish is great for parties with Zhong li or Xinyan shield users. The dish will boost the shield’s strength by 250 for 300 seconds. This is a huge buff that is great for fighting enemies with a lot of health.
To make the dish, players need three fish, three butter, one small lamp grass, and salt.
Jueyun Gouna
Jueyun Gouna is great for players who need a big boost to their stats. The recipe increases the player’s physical damage by 30% for 300 seconds. This recipe is easy to get because Ms. Bai in Qingce Village sells it for just 5,000 mora.
Players will need two horsetails, two pieces of rice, ham, and a jueyun chilli to make the recipe.
Calla Lily Seafood Soup
For some players, it’s better to stay healthy than to get sick. That means that preparing to take hits and reduce damage is better than healing in a panic. For people with that kind of attitude, the Calla Lily Seafood Soup is a great choice. It increases the Defense of all party members by 200 for 300 seconds or 5 minutes.
With a low amount of enemy damage, players will soon forget that healing foods exist in a party with tanky characters like Noelle. This soup is also easy to make because you only need 4 crabs, 2 mint leaves, and 1 calla lily.
Barbatos Ratatouille
Many Genshin Impact players don’t care about Stamina because it’s not as important as other resources. This is a mistake, since Stamina can easily make players immune to damage if they know when to dodge. Of course, it runs out pretty quickly that way, which is why there are foods like Barbatos Ratatouille to make sure that doesn’t happen often.
This vegetarian food cuts the party’s stamina uses by 20% and keeps them going for a whopping 900 seconds, or 15 minutes, making it perfect for long fights and explorations. Even though there are benefits, it’s easy to cook with only four of each: carrots, tomatoes, and onions.
Sauteed Matsutake
Sometimes the best way to defend yourself is to attack and boosting everyone’s attack or damage can speed up fights before the enemy can do any damage. This role is filled by the Sauteed Matsutake, which increases ATK by 160 to 228 for 300 seconds.
Most artefacts only add two digits to ATK, which is already a lot, so players can imagine how great the Sauteed Matsutake is in battle. The ingredients, which are 3 Matustakes, 3 Flour, 2 Pinecones, and 2 Butter, are not too hard to find either.
Flaming Red Bolognese
It tastes as good and spicy as it sounds, and the Flaming Red Bolognese can heal up to 18–22% of a character’s Max HP, depending on the character. Also, for the next 30 seconds, it will keep restoring 300-470 HP every 5 seconds.
Even though it’s not the best healing spell for when you’re in trouble, it’s good for long fights, especially against bosses with big, damaging attacks. It is one of the best healing foods you can get right now. It only costs 2 Flour, 2 Raw Meat, and 1 Tomato, which isn’t much for what it does.
Mondstadt Hash Brown
Now, the Mondstadt Hash Brown is the best way for players with high enough Adventure Ranks to get the most HP back after a tough fight or a big mistake. Each serving restores 30%–34% of a character’s maximum health.
In addition, they get back between 600 and 1,900 flat HP. It’s also one of the easiest and most healing foods to make because you only need 2 Pinecones, 1 Potato, and 1 Jam. The Jam might be hard to make because it needs to be refined, but you can also buy them already made in shops in the city. On the other hand, pinecones and potatoes are just as common as leaves.
